to steal your sister for
a little while?"
"Sure,
as long as you bring her back." Brody grinned at me as we walked out of
the door.
I couldn't
begin to get my head around how happy I was. Me and Isaac were the happiest we'd
ever been, Brody's band was doing awesome and my mum was sober. Eighteen months
and counting. I would never be able to thank Isaac enough for his compassion.
After Brody left home, she spiralled out of control. Isaac paid for her to
check into a private rehab centre. It was a long process but with the right
help, she got her life back on track. I began visiting her once a month and we
were slowly trying to patch up our relationship.
We strolled
hand in hand until we arrived back at the University. "Why have you
brought me back here? I've graduated, that's it, I'm free!"
He laughed, "I
want to show you something."
"Oh
yeah? I thought you said this was an innocent little walk?"
"April
Adams, you have a dirty mind."
"Are you
complaining?"
"Not one
little bit."
When we
reached the line of trees, he placed my hand on his bicep, "Hold on, I
won't let you fall."
I laughed, "Wow,
I feel like we've just been transported back in time. You know, I nearly died
when you tensed your arm."
"When?"
"That
first night at the mixer when you told me to hold on. You tensed your arm and I
nearly melted onto the floor."
He winked,
"I did it on purpose."
I gasped,
"You did not!"
"I did,
I wanted you to feel the guns."
We were both
laughing when we reached our tree. I sighed happily as I ran my hand across the
bark where the letters I and A were engraved. "I'm going to miss this
place."
"Me too,
we can come back and visit."
"I'd
like that."
He wrapped
his arms around my waist and gazed down at me, "I'm so glad that I came
out here the morning that I met you."
"Well
I'm glad that I was running late."
"Me too.
Our relationship hasn't always been easy but I wouldn't change a thing. Everything
happened the way that it did to lead us to this very moment." He reached
into his pocket and pulled out a piece of folded up paper, "I have
something for you."
I grinned,
recognising the paper. I loved it when he shared his diary entries with me. It
made me feel closer to him and it was a nice way of reflecting on the good
times that we had shared. I took the paper from him and began to unfold it.
"You are the best thing that's ever
happened to me."
I leaned up
to kiss him, "Short but sweet, thank you." He handed me another one. "Two
in one day? You're spoiling me!"
"I'm
allowed to spoil you, it's your graduation day."
I grinned as
I read his sweet words -
"I want to spend the rest of my
life making you happy."
I laughed
when I looked up to see that he was holding another one. His eyes twinkled as
he handed it to me, "I've saved the best for last."
I unfolded
the paper and gasped as I read his handwritten words -
"Will you marry me?"
My heart
began to pound as he slowly got down on one knee. He reached into his jacket
pocket and pulled out a small box. "April Adams, will you do me the honour
of becoming my wife?"
I couldn't
stop the tears from flowing as I threw my arms around him and nearly tackled
him to the ground. "Yes! Of course I will marry you!" I felt like I
was going to burst with happiness as he placed the ring on my finger. I looked
around us, trying to absorb every little thing about this moment.
His eyes were
brimming with tears as he gently wiped away mine, "Hey, what's with the
April Showers?"
I took his
hand and held it against my chest, "Feel that? It beats for you."
I grinned as
I saw the next fifty years flash before my eyes. I saw love and happiness and
grandchildren. Lots of grandchildren. I felt like the luckiest girl
alive. Not only had I found my husband but I had found my best friend, my soul
mate, my forever.
The End.
